Ya girl loves a good swimmy, especially when it’s trendy and Brazilian bottoms are involved.

I’ve gotten pretty much all of my swimsuits from Zaful this year (it’s like one of those sketchy companies you see all over Instagram for cheap but actually good quality and fit.) Call me obsessed! Aside from that, I’ve rounded up a few other swim brands you may want to check out if you’re in the market for some new bikinis this season.

Californians are another breed, but you’ve gotta love their confidence — Especially in all things fashion. I’ve never been able to master Southern belle style, but have always felt like I fit right in when I visit the golden state based on my affinity for basic tees, a great pair of jeans and the occasional designer bag. Here are a few of the outfits I wore during my recent trip to LA. If you want to read about the journey, take a look at my Insider’s Guide to Los Angeles.

Venice Beach & Santa Monica

Anything goes at Venice Beach, and I ended up walking around in my swimsuit top, cutoff denim shorts and chunky white sneakers for the majority of the day. For lunch and Santa Monica, I wore a lightweight striped Luxe Apothetique short sleeve button down and carried my Matt & Nat beige crossbody tote. I would recommend wearing a swimsuit with denim and something loose-fitting when you visit the area so you don’t have to change in one of those nasty public bathrooms on the beach.

Hollywood Boulevard has quite the outstanding number of panhandlers and tourists (think Times Square, but West Coast) — but since we went to a more upscale brunch I chose to wear comfy heels for the day and a two-piece blazer shorts combo with a delicate ruffled crop tank. A sleek ponytail, hoops and plenty of bracelets completed the look! While most people wear boring tourist outfits on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I loved looking a little dressier because panhandlers tended to leave us alone for the most part (and I felt like I looked like an ultra-hip, super classy Hollywood ICON.) The best thing about wearing this two-piece combo was the fact that I could take off the blazer when I got hot and still look chic. This look was everything for Rodeo, but I do wish I had a designer bag with me while I was on that strip.

My Griffith Park & Downtown look was exactly what I needed it to be — Low-key, a little grungy and totally comfortable. Since mornings can be chilly in California, I opted for a pair of leggings, a cutoff Brandy Melville top, white sneakers, leather jacket and Kate Spade leather backpack. The hike takes up a decent amount of time so a chic backpack was great for holding a snack and bottle of water. An Outdoor Voices Athena Crop would also be cute with a leather jacket for the hike and rest of the day! Downtown is SUPER grungy, so I’m glad I had my leather jacket on and didn’t look too posh. Overall a super laid-back look that felt very California but still chic.

I can’t believe 2018 is coming to an end! This year was a HUGE year for me in many ways, especially in my health journey, my faith and most importantly my relationships. I’m looking forward to a great new year and can’t wait for it to begin! I still don’t have my New Year’s Eve planned, but I know one thing: I will look fly as hell.

Here are a few things I’m loving for New Year’s Eve this year, as well as some pieces you can buy STRAIGHT from my closet! Most of these items are not yet listed on my selling apps, so you have the first look and chance to buy! If you’re located in Austin, I’ll drop them off to you on New Year’s Eve.

Multi-Color Shimmer Woven Cami Express Dress

Never been worn, this shimmery dress screams New Year’s Eve. With a little extra fabric in the front, it shows just the right amount of skin. It’s super comfortable but will keep you looking fresh all night long!

New With Tags | Size S | $40

Black Long Sleeve Deep V Romper

This is the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit because it’s easy and can be glammed up in no time! The neckline is great for showing a little cleavage if you want, and I love the slits in the arms for a little visual interest. Silver shoes, fun earrings and a furry jacket will complete your look!

Like New | Size S | $20

Silver Halogen Heel Booties

These shoes had my back in 2018! Fun and funky, they’re the perfect statement piece for winter wear. I adore the pointed toe and love to pair them with black denim for the office as well.

Like New | Size 6.5 | $40

Cream Short Sleeve Glitter Kimchi Blue Dress

I LOVE this dress, but it’s one of those pieces you can only wear in so many pictures! It’s fitted up top and loose from the waist down, with the perfect amount of shimmer for New Year’s Eve.

Strapless Ruffle Party Dress

If you’re spending New Year’s Eve indoors, this dress is perfect for you. It’s an adorable fit and flare strapless cut with small ruffles all over. It would look great with a leather jacket and high heel booties as well if you’ll be outside for the holiday!

Another shimmery piece to add to your winter wardrobe. This skirt pairs well with any fitted top — My favorite way to wear it is with a scrappy heel and fitted black v-neck long sleeve!

I have two things on my mind when thinking of winter style: Sparkles and FUR. Lots of (fake) fur. This season I’m loving a little drama when it comes to my look. Extra zippers, buttons, patches, studs, buckles and more are just a few of my favorite things!

I’ve rounded up my top three jackets, sweaters, tees, jeans, purses and shoes of the season. Happy shopping!

For more of my holiday looks, follow @missmadds_xo on Instagram! I have my profile on private lately since I’ve had some security issues, but if you shoot me a DM and tell me that you follow my blog, I’ll approve your request. Happy holidays!

Fall has fallen (almost) and I’m cleaning out my closet! Ya homegirl is moving to Clarksville just west of downtown Austin, and the downsize is real! I have so many great pieces in my closet, but some of them I’ve only worn a few times. I want to share the love with everyone, so I’ve taken to the wonder than is Poshmark to do a little closet cleanout!

From heels to Juicy Couture jackets and a few of my favorite old makeup products, there’s tons for you to look at. Here are a few highlights!

Vintage Taupe Leather Dooney & Bourke Crossbody

Madewell Lace-Up Top, Cream, XS

Black Lululemon Hooded Define Jacket

Juicy Couture Ultrasoft Velour Hooded Jacket Plum

Aldo Suede Lace Up Heel Red Size 6

LAURA MERCIER Tinted Moisturizer SPF Oil Free Fawn

I can’t wait to share a few of my favorite fall sweater picks with you as well! As soon as I have a minute to sit on my couch, burn a few candles and shop using Shopstyle, I’ll throw that post on MissMadds.com… But until then, feel free to shop my Poshmark or message me on Instagram if there’s a certain piece you’re looking for for fall!

Ever wondered what apps your favorite Instagrammmers use to get those editorial, film-inspired, aesthetically pleasing posts? Here are the top four apps re ommenxed by some of the top bloggers (and little old moi) when it comes to making your photos look Insta-worthy.

Facetune

If you have a facial emergency (aka a pimple, which I'm no stranger to unfortunately), the healing tool on Facetune is a total lifesaver! I know people who edit the heck out of their selfies, smoothing every imperfection and making their teeth three shades too white, but when used correctly, Facetune can be the perfect tool to polish up an unsightly photo.

Best Tools:

Patch

Smooth

Whiten

Snapseed

I first downloaded this app when my sweet friend Shelby Sorrel showed it to me over coffee one day. I love that lets you use a brush tool to enhance the colors of one part of the image, making things really stand out if you want them to. It also has a bunch of other basic edits like crop, perspective, and healing which is great for removing distractions from the background of photos.

Best Tools:

Brush - Saturation

Healing

VSCO

When it comes to adding the perfect effect to your photo, VSCO has it all! I love this app so much that I've actually gone onto their company website and downloaded presets that I use while editing my photos for Maddy Hill Photographics. I used to use Afterlight for adding effects to my photos, but I found that VSCO has way more options and they look more natural than many of the Afterlight effects.

Best Effects:

HB2

F1

C3

S2

A Color Story

My new favorite for filters that are more color-based and less film-inspired. They have so many fun filters to play with and effects you can add on top of photos to dramatize them and give them a bold colorful effect.

Best Color Packs

Seasons

Golden Hour

Planoly

How do Instagrammers, content curators, and social media managers seem to have the perfect grid? Instagram planning tools such as my favorite, Planoly! This app lets you plan your grams, add filler boxes, and schedule/post from the app. I love to use this for planning blog Instagrams and seeing how everything looks side by side.

Other Editing Tips

Brighter is better. I've found that the most aesthetically pleasing feeds consistently post bright, light photos. You don't have to have a white-focused feed to have a bright and airy vibe, but be sure that you're shooting with plenty of light. This will increase the quality of your photos and make them look better when people are scrolling. I always brighten my photos a little in Instagram before I post.

Use a heavy filter if you want a cohesive aesthetic. The number one mistake people make when trying to redo the aesthetic of their Instagram is not using a filter that is heavy enough on their photos. They heavier the filter is (I.e. the more it changes the colors, contrast, and tone of a photo), the quicker it’s going to make your feet look like it was all cohesively planned.

Never post horizontal photos. Horizontal photos take up less room on Instagram than vertical and square photos.

I love editing photos for social media and do it my friends all the time! If you need help editing a photo or want me to do it for you, just DM me on Instagram at @missmadds_xo. Be sure to share this post with any friends looking to become Instagram photo editing pros!

Summer is HERE and the hot temperatures are nearly killing me! Thank the dear sweet Lord above for cute skirts, lightweight fabrics, and cute sandals from my favorite brands. The following pieces are a few essentials I have in my summer wardrobe and highly recommend because not only are they adorable but are high quality as well!

Tops

Dresses & Skirts

Shoes

I am also loving EVERYTHING at Beehive Boutique (like this yellow ruffle scrunch top) in Westlake right now. From the mustard yellows to rich reds and palm prints, I can’t get enough of the retro-chic style they’re curating in-store.

I'm looking forward to a fun summer filled with long evenings outside with friends at events around Austin, weekends by the pool, and visiting family out of state. What is everyone else up to this summer?

Not too long ago, I was doing some research about feminine care brands and how most products that we stick up/in/around our lady parts aren’t regulated by the FDA. I've been using organic tampons ever since, but the whole situation got me thinking... What else am I putting in and on my body that has an ingredient list not regulated by the FDA?

Those of you who know me are aware that my skin is constantly breaking out and constantly making me frustrated, leaving my self confidence a little shot! I had heard of non-toxic makeup before, but hadn't seriously considered it until I realized just how little regulation the cosmetic industry really has.

Do I think wearing MAC foundation will kill me or give me cancer? No. Does it break me out and make my skin itchy as heck? Definitely.

I scoured the web to find non-toxic beauty brands, connected with friends who I knew were toxin-free, and ordered enough samples of foundations, powders, highlighters, lipsticks, and mascaras to last me TWO MONTHS!

Here are a few of my favorite brands and products I’ve been using (and fully intend to use from here on out.)

GRESSA

Stemming from traditional herbalism, GRESSA’s products include apothecary items and skincare cosmetics. I love the brand because the pigments are rich and their foundation offers amazing coverage. They also send you samples of their foundation before you buy, so you can match color perfectly.

One of the most well-known toxin-free makeup brands, W3LL PEOPLE offers nutrient-rich, quality cosmetics. I consider their brand to be like the Glossier of the toxin-free makeup world, since their products are great for that “no-makeup” look. I also love that you can buy select products in minis!

This awesome brand not only has great makeup, but SERIOUSLY AWESOME skincare products. Within a month of using their No. 3 Balancing Facial Oil, I was getting plenty of compliments on my (usually) troubled skin. What I love most about Beautycounter, though, is the company’s dedication to education and change within the cosmetic industry. If you’re looking to make a little extra cash, you can become a consultant for them as well!

While I'm not opposed to the occasional liquid foundation and false eyelash combo, I've found it best for my skin if I stick to a light makeup routine for everyday purposes. Nothing feels better than easily wiping makeup off at the end of the day and knowing you aren't clogging your pores with a ton of junk that doesn't need to be on your face! Curious as to how toxic your beauty cabinet is? The Think Dirty can tell you just how toxic certain beauty products are.

Grab your bronzer and your favorite bikini, ladies! It’s hesting up outside which means it’s time to hit the pool or natural springs — and look great while doing so. Whether you love a good one piece or have decided to venture into the wild world of Brazilian bikinis this summer, each of these brands offers wonderful quality while combining fun cuts and trendy looks to create swimsuits you’ll be wearing all season long.

When you’re on day three of not washing your hair and waking up tired after hitting snooze a few too many times, this seven minute peppy ponytail is the perfect way to look polished and presentable while rushing to get ready for work.

Step 1: Tease

Blame it on my Texas upbringing that I love to tease my hair. My naturally flat hair and big forehead have always frustrated me, so I mastered the art of subtly teasing my hair when I was a freshman in college. I rarely leave my apartment without a little teased hair and a few coats of mascara (or some falsies, which I talk about more here.) I like to tease the top layer of the crown of my head, as well as either side of my part ever so slightly for extra lift. My favorite teasing comb? A flat, plastic rat-tail comb like the Mason Pearson Tail Comb.

Step 2: Pony Up

Next, I pull my hair back into a pony and use my rat-tail comb to brush any odd-shaped, teasing-induced bumps out of my hair and make it look a little smoother. I like it when ponies look a little messy, but not too messy for work! My new favorite hair ties are telephone cord hair ties, but I prefer to use them for half-up half-down styles. I like using a traditional pony (since my hair is fine, I use thin goodie ponytail holders).

Step 3: Bobby-Pin

This is my number one trick to getting a peppy ponytail! I take one bobby pin, flip my ponytail up on top of my head, and stick it straight down into the ponytail holder with the opening of the pin facing into the ponytail. Just keep it angered down toward the nape of your neck!If you have thicker hair, two bobby-pins might be necessary — Just cross them in an “X” position when sticking them through. After I stick the bobby-pin in, I flip my hair back over, tighten it a little by pulling on the sides, and tug a little on my original tease with a rat tail comb so my volume is even bigger.

STEP 4: Texturizer + Setting Spray

After inserting the bobby-pin and getting my ponytail situated, I pinch the top later of my ponytail, lift it up a little, and spray texturizing spray (I preferUmberto Dry Texture Spray from drugstores) on my pony. I tousle it a bit, then finish off the look with some hairspray. My current favorite is Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play.

Voila! A peppy pony that will make you look (and feel) more polished and awake at work. I love pairing a ponytail with bold eye makeup and extra highlighter on my cheekbones. It makes the lazy-chic style feel much more put together.

I'm not sure if it was the recent discovery of my presumably long lost Free People bell bottoms, my Huji and Camon-Classic app downloads, or the sun finally bringing some warmth to Austin, but I am FEELIN' the 70's lately. Social media? Who needs it! DSLR? Give me an instant camera! Responsibilities? No thank you! Enter my spring 2018, 70's inspired mood board.

I may not be at Woodstock, but I can still appreciate some vintage looks and pieces. Below are a few of my favorite images from my 70's Mood board on Pinterest.

These images will definitely be the inspiration for my next shoot, and will influence the items I get while doing spring shopping. I've been so tired of clothing lately (I feel like it all looks the same and lacks variance) so I'm planning on doing some thrift and vintage shopping soon. I can't wait to show you my 70's inspired looks!

It's been a minute since I've done a photo shoot for fun, so I was thrilled when I got the chance to shoot with Contista Productions again! These are a few early spring 2018 looks I'm loving right now with a little Austin flare just in time for South by Southwest.

The best shoots are spontaneous shoots you don't see coming. I met up with Josh and Parisa for dinner one Friday night, and the next thing you know we are talking about a shoot come Sunday morning! Next thing I know, they're over listening to the same song on repeat as i toss all of my clothes out of my closet in search of the perfect outfits for the shoot. After a quick trip to Starbucks Sunday morning, we were on our way to McKinney Falls.

Shooting is always a blast with them. They know the best angles, how to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera, and never make me feel silly for suggesting ideas for poses and locations when we're out there. My favorite part of the entire shoot: There was a little girl watching us with a derpy smile on her face for the entirety of the second outfit. Kind of creepy, but kind of cute.

Be sure to check out the Contista Productions website for more of their work. SO much raw emotion and unedited beauty is captured in their videos! If you want to see a teaser from the shoot, you can find that below.

We're a few days away from the most glitzy and glamorous night of the year—New Year's Eve! I always feel like stepping out onto the town on New Year's Eve is like stepping onto the catwalk (but with more booze and less paparazzi.) I've selected a few of my favorite pieces for New Year's Eve this year, with a few words on how to style them below. Most of them are on sale, so order now or stop by a Nordstrom to find them before the weekend gets here!

New Year's Eve is one of my favorite nights of the year, and I especially love looking at everyone's outfits on Instagram the next day. You won't want to miss what I'm wearing this year! Be sure to follow Miss Madds on Instagram so you can keep up with what I'm doing to celebrate.

These products are my absolute favorites from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale! I like how these can be worn together for an edgy-chic look. I've always loved all things black and leather, but my style can be pretty girly as well. These picks are the best of both worlds for me!

BOOTIES

THE best time to shop for booties is at the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale! It's not too cold in the South just yet, so these low sale prices are great if you're wanting to stock up. And you can't miss the iconic Steve Madden Thigh High Boots on sale. I have a similar pair that I wear to every nice gathering I attend in the winter! The suede is super warm and they make everything look just a little more styled.

SWEATERS

I'm very picky about my sweaters, and I always have the best luck when shopping for them at Nordstrom. Some of my favorite brands are BP and Leith, but Topshop also has some great options. My favorite from above is the Topshop Wide Sleeve Sweater in Nude. It's great worn with jeans or tucked into a skirt for work, and the sleeves add just a little flair to the otherwise classic cut.

DENIM

Black jeans are a staple in my closet no matter the season, and I'm definitely going to be investing in the Jamie Exposed Zip Lace-Up Ankle Skinny Jeans by Topshop for this winter. If you're buying Topshop jeans, be sure you go up a size for comfort! I'm normally a 2-4 but wear a 4-6 in the Jamie since they are skin-tight otherwise. You don't want to suffer through wearing too-tight high-waisted jeans all day long!

CARDIGANS

Cardigans are another picky piece for me. I need something that's thick enough to keep me warm, but thin enough to where I won't be too hot inside during the winter. It needs to be baggy but not too baggy, and can't wear out too quickly! Here are a few quality picks that I would buy for the winter (and probably pair with dresses in the summer as well.)

I can't wait to put my gift cards to good use! When it comes to picking items that will last the year through, I think winter sales are a great way to build up your closet. Even if you aren't wearing a winter jacket in July, it's still better to buy a classic style on sale at the start of winter than wait another year for new styles to roll out. Be sure to check out my New Year's Eve outfit inspo post, and happy shopping!

I always thought that clothing subscription boxes were for moms. Mainly because my mom has a subscription to StitchFix and I just always thought these things were for busy ladies who were trying to deal with their kids' BS, their pets' BS, and their husband's BS. But then I tried a subscription to Le Tote... And I have finally seen the light.

- You can purchase singular items from the box (with up to 50% discount on each)

- You can preview your box and switch items out if you don't like what they pick

How it works:

You basically go online, create an account, and do a short quiz to help them get a feel for your style. They ask you about what kinds of tops, coats, sweaters, pants, skirts, and dresses you like to wear, and assemble your first box within a few minutes so you can see what you're going to be getting before it comes. I LOVED this aspect of Le Tote, because I am a control freak! I actually didn't love the products they picked, so I kind of did my own thang and I could NOT have been happier with what I got.

When you get the box in the mail, you can keep the clothes and wear them as long as you want. Just be sure to keep them in great condition (or purchase clothing insurance if you're accident-prone!) After you wear your clothes a few times, you can return them using the pre-labeled packaging included with the tote. Or, you can keep the items you love and Le Tote will charge your card the discounted price for each piece. It's up to 50% off the regular retail price!

You can rate your box piece by piece and let the stylists know if there was any issue with the overall style, fit, material, or color.

See what was in my tote:

Pricing:

$59/Month. If you purchase every item from a tote, however, you will get a month free! Great deal if you are the kind of person who spends $60+ on clothes each month anyway. And a great way to online shop with the ability to get up to 50% off of pieces and return them easily (they give you a mailer you can send unwanted items back in!)

Le Tote is totally #MaddyApproved! Can't wait to keep trying out new services and products to share with you guys. Have you used a subscription box for clothing? Which is your favorite? Comment below and let me know!

This is not a sponsored post. The viewpoint above is the unbiased opinion of Maddy Hill, and the selected products were paid for.

I get so many questions about my eyelashes, and I'm finally dishing out my best-kept secrets on how I get my bold everyday lashes. It's not an extensive process... But it does involve a lot of blinking! Not trying to become a YouTube beauty queen, so if you're on here with negative energy please take it elsewhere. :)

Also, I think I may be one of the ONLY people who applies mascara with my mouth closed for the majority of the time. Maybe that's my real secret??

The only makeup question I get asked more than how I do my eyelashes is how my brows are so bold! (I once went on a date and the guy told me at the end that he thought I had the most fleeky brows ever... lol.) Anyway, this is my brow routine! I know that bold brows aren't for everyone, but if you use the powder from the product I mention without using the cream as well, it really takes them down a notch. Mine are SUPER bold at the end of this, but I wanted to make sure there was enough product to where you guys could see what I was doing! In real life I would probably brush through it a little more before leaving for the day.

Oh, baby! Was today cold or what? I'm not sure about you, but I'm ready to bust out some more winter-inspired looks... With pieces from Madewell, of course! I put together some chic late fall/early winter outfits for you guys, using mostly Madewell sale pieces. They never have great shoes on sale, so most of the shoes are full price. If you ask me, shoes are definitely worth a splurge.

Edgy

If you're feeling a little edgy this December, this outfit is for you! It says "I'm punky but still adorable" (which is basically my aesthetic forever and always.) This pullover crossback sweater was a complete STEAL from the sale section. Only $30? Yes please!

Simple

This outfit is comfortable but still trés chic. I tried to envision what I would be wearing in Paris in this kind of weather, and here we are! I love the slight flare sleeves on the Rivet top, and the neutral but feminine color of the Atlas jacket. Madewell has the best jackets, and plenty are on sale! They wear extremely well and are surprisingly warm for their level of style.

Bohemian

This outfit is more suitable for higher winter temps, but you could easily layer up with a mustard-colored Kimono jacket (size up for comfort) and tights. Don't forget fun socks for some dynamic accessorizing! This outfit would be perfect for a weekend running errands and catching up with friends over brunch or cocktails It's super low-key, but the scarf dresses it up a little and makes it look like you put more effort into the look.

Cozy

My personal favorite, because I'm a #lazygirl! No matter how cute we look for Winter, I'm pretty sure we can unanimously agree that it should be socially acceptable to wear this outfit to all places, including but not limited to: Work, weddings, Christmas Eve mass, family photos, and maybe even New Year's Eve. I'm not really sure why the yellow shirt says stuff bout Mr. Dijon, but who am I kidding? It's adorable.

Hurry hurry and shop these sale items before they're gone! Maxwell's sales can be really hit or miss... But these items are high quality for what they normally have in the summer. Which look is your favorite?

I don't know about you, but adulting has me balling on a budget this Christmas! I've put together a gift guide of the top 30 gift ideas under $30 perfect for everyone on your nice (or naughty—see kitchenware) list. I'm a firm believer that chic can still be cheap! Just because Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are over doesn't mean you can't snag some great products at great prices.

When it comes to gifting, I'd rather give someone one thoughtful gift than a slew of presents they'll disregard and never use after Christmas. Below you'll find a few of my favorite things, broken down by category—Kitchenware, Home Goods, Beauty Buys, and Accessories! (Spoiler: I actually included 36 items. Merry Christmas!)

KITCHENWARE

Getting a Starbucks gift card and cute mug from a friend never gets old, but did you know you could buy a grilled cheese griddle for under $30? Who doesn't love melted cheese? (In all honesty, I'm lactose intolerant... But would still LOVE to get that as a gift.) Everyone knows that the holidays mean lots of alcohol, so I picked the whiskey business flask (which comes in another saying as well!) for the pals on your naughty list.

HOME GOODS

Another thing I LOVE getting for Christmas is home goods. I always felt like I was returning to a new apartment after Christmas break since my presents would always involve some cute home decor. My top pick from this list is the zodiac journal! In case you didn't know, I'm a VERY strong Aries personality (and feel the need to get every "Aries" thing I can get my hands on.) I was pretty surprised at the price on the letter board as well—It's from Target and SUCH a steal! These things can run pretty high in price.

BEAUTY BUYS

Bath, body, and beauty products are always a great choice for gift giving! I can't get enough of the multicolored soap rocks above. I mean seriously, who invented these? They're so weird. I must order. I also chose a great exfoliating scrub from Frank Body. I try to use only natural ingredients on my face and always exfoliate with coffee grounds! If you want to be more conservative in your gift giving this year, the Herbivore calm bath salts are a good choice. I received them as a stocking stuffer years ago and it was the perfect present. Everyone loves bath salts!

ACCESSORIES

Yes, that is an LED fidget spinner iPhone case. And yes, yes, that little thing in the middle is a selfie glo lens for your phone or computer.. These fun accessories are perfect for those people who appreciate more "novel" prezzies and uncommon objects. I used to have the "I am busy" phone case in the top right, and got so many compliments I had to include it. I'm also loving the chic little keychain with the cheeky sayings. Must have!

Great gifts DON'T have to be expensive! You can find tons of great gifts on ShopStyle and set a price range for easy shopping as well. Or, you can take a look at some of my other favorite gift guides this holiday season!

I hope you enjoy my gift guide, and maybe order a few things for your family and friends this holiday season! Can't wait to hear back from you on Instagram about which you liked most... Happy shopping!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, aka Cyber Week! I'm not about to brave Black Friday in person, so I'll be doing my shopping from the comfort of my couch during Cyber Week with a non-caffeinated tea in my hand and zit cream on my face because tbh my skin is a mess from all the sugar I consumed this Thanksgiving.

If you haven't already checked out my family's weirdest Thanksgiving traditions, you should definitely do so... But if you're ready to move onto Christmas (like me) keep scrolling for fun and festive deals from ShopStyle Collective and a bunch of random companies I subscribe to via email. ;-) Holiday goals: Purge my inbox.
